Answer all questions and label your answers:
Among the topics covered in Chapter 9: Fiction are Scene and Summary, and Backstory and Flashback.
1-A: Identify a passage in Adichie’s story, “Apollo,” that you think demonstrates Flashback, and state why you think that passage demonstrates flashback. How does the narrator alert you that a flashback is coming?
1-B: Scene and Summary are different techniques. Identify one passage in Marquez’s story, “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,” that you think demonstrates Scene, and another passage that you think demonstrates Summary, and state why you think these passages demonstrate scene or summary?
2-A: We have learned that the ‘crisis moment’ in a plot is the moment when the story changes, the main character is forced to make a difficult choice (discovery and decision: see Ch. 6: Story), and that choice changes things for the main character. What do you think is the ‘crisis moment’ of “Apollo”? When does the story change for the narrator, and how does he change in this moment?
2-B: State what you think may be the theme of “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”? We know what happens in the story, but what do you think it means? What is Marquez’s point with this story? There are no right or wrong answers to this question, it is a matter of your opinion, and your opinion counts.

paragraph that supports the thesis statement, and a concluding section that connects back to the thesis
statement. Here are some questions to consider as you develop this short project:
1) What changes have you noticed in your ability to “employ writing strategies, appeals, and
research skills to compose written projects of varying lengths for a variety of audiences,
subjects, and purposes”?
2) How have you used revision (working with early, advanced, and final drafts) for generating
ideas, drafting, and developing your writing endeavors? What benefit have you found in the
revision process?
3) How will you apply the skills developed in the course to other classes and disciplines?
4) Given the opportunity, what would you do differently in your approach to the assignments in
ENG 2105?
Why: A college course should expand and enhance your academic skills, and a college writing course
should build upon the writing foundation you brought to the beginning of the class. In this course, you
have had the opportunity to complete assignments designed to extend skills in the following areas:
• Analyze, synthesize, and evaluate main ideas, supporting evidence, and conclusions in a
variety of persuasive texts.
• Apply knowledge by expressing informed opinions in classroom discussions and in written
assignments.
• Comprehend how variations in form, organization, syntax, diction, style, and tone are
appropriate for a given audience, subject, and purpose.
• Employ writing strategies, appeals, and research skills to compose written projects of
varying lengths for a variety of audiences, subjects, and purposes.
• Know that writing is a process, and apply personal and collaborative revision and editing
skills (including knowledge of focus, development, organization, and grammar/punctuation)
in the service of substantive revision.
It is important to reflect upon the learning outcomes listed above in relation to the work you have
completed in ENG 1107. A Reflection Essay allows you to do just that.

1. Compare and Contrast the labor systems of the Northern and Southern United States.
2. Compare the various forms of anti-slavery movements: slave uprisings, abolition, and gradual abolition.
Kelsey Minick
Topic 12
The North and South differed in their work production with the north being focused on factories and industrilization; whereas the south focused on agricultural and growth in plantations. “By 1815, cotton was the most valuable export in the United States; by 1840, it was worth more than all other exports combined. But while the southern states produced two-thirds of the world’s supply of cotton, the South had little manufacturing capability, about 29 percent of the railroad tracks, and only 13 percent of the nation’s banks. The South did experiment with using slave labor in manufacturing, but for the most part it was well satisfied with its agricultural economy” ( US Department of the Interior). The impact on the north was done via the immigrants coming in by shiploads for the “american dream.”
Pressure had been placed on the government officials to push for slavery to abolished in the current states and following ones to come. Uprisings were formed by slaves which began placing fear and pressure on the owners especially in the deep south. The first movement for abolishment was the gradual abolition lead by the General Assembly, but in a way to please the owners on the plantations. It would overrule slavery but at a slow and almost unnoticable pace to the less educated. the abolitionist movement ran from 1830 to 1870 and was the largest movement going against slavery at the time. They took the ideas of how shameful slavery was all the way up to the polititans. “Historians believe ideas set forth during the religious movement known as the Second Great Awakening inspired abolitionists to rise up against slavery. This Protestant revival encouraged the concept of adopting renewed morals, which centered around the idea that all men are created equal in the eyes of God” ( History.com).

Submitted project proposal:
This project will focus on the relationship between Islam and development following the rise of “Militant Islam” or “Islamic revival” in the region of Southwest Asia. I am interested in exploring the role of Islam and religious traditions in postulating sociopolitical and economic changes and attribute to the democratic deficit in the region. The project will argue that the return to Islamic fundamentalism diverts from the original norms of the religion and are manipulated to serve the interests of patriarchal and power-hungry societies under the name of Islam. Further, I will draw upon anthropological pieces to analyze the reasons behind people’s conformation and devotion to the Islamist and authoritarian regimes as well as women’s submission to respective gender roles and norms, and I will attempt to answer the following questions:
• What defines the differences between religion and Arab culture?
• How are Islamist regimes able to maintain their political and collective legitimacy despite a democratic deficit?
• To what extent were development successful in shifting trends away from gender inequality and oppression? If not so much, what represents an obstacle?
• Why is this important? And what does it imply in a social context?
I hope to make distinctions between socio-religious prospectsand the realities on the ground to explore and explain setbacks in driving economic growth and jeopardizes human-security as well as development.

-instructor’s comment:
Fascinating topic—provided you can find enough anthropological literature on it. I think that raher than trying to draw too many conclusion based on what will be an inevitably limited literature review you should focus on understanding the topography of discussion and debate in the literature-setting up a longer and more in depth study down the road. Oxford Bibliographies online provides a good start on Anthropology of Islam as does the following: Osella, F., and B. Soares, eds. 2009. Special issue: Islam, politics, anthropology. Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Project approved
must only have 5 direect citations, no more than 25% of the paper can be direct citation. Must include an abstract.

1. Describe the consequences of the Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. How did the Mexican territorial acquisitions explosively open the slavery question?
2. Discuss the impact of Westward Expansion on Natives, Mexico, and recent immigrants. Which group had the biggest impact on the formation of the continental United States and why?
Jacob Getz
Topic 11 Discussion
1. According to Openstax 11.4, the consequences of the Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo led to Mexico ceding half of its land to the United States. This included the current states of California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. Mexico was forced to recognize the Rio Grande as the border between them and the United States. According to Openstax 11.5, the acquisition of land led to more debates about the issue of slavery, growing the ever widening gap between the north and south. The south believed they were under attack from northern abolitionists, while the north feared that the south would try to dominate American politics to protect themselves. It also created single-issue parties, like the Liberty Party, who wanted to abolish slavery completely because they believed that slavery was evil, and the “antislavery” group, who felt that slavery degraded White labor and reduced its value.
2. The westward expansion had an impact on the Native people as, according to Openstax 11.1, the expansion was used to open trade with the western tribes and to establish peaceful relations with them while also asserting American power over them. Although, not all attempts to establish peace went well, such as with the Blackfeet tribe. The impact the westward expansion had on Mexico was, according to Openstax 11.3 and Openstax 11.4, a war that started when Americans settled and eventually tried to take over Texas and other Mexican territories. The resulting war ended with an American victory, and Mexico ceded half of its land to America. The impact the westward expansion had on immigrants, according to Openstax 11.4, started with the Gold Rush. When news of the gold mine found in California spread, immigrants from China began to come over to the United States in order to dig at abandoned sites to reveal gold that other miners missed. This angered the other miners, and a tax was imposed on the immigrants, and it eventually banned them from coming over. The group that had the biggest impact on the formation of the continental United States is Mexico because the results of the Mexican-American War gave the United States more states which, according to Openstax 11.4, include California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
